AMERICAN STUDIES Grading and Assessments

How Are Grades Assessed in American Studies?

The Grading Scale for American Studies is as follows:

93-100% = A

90-92.9% = A-

87-89.9% = B+

83-86.9% = B

80-82.9% = B-

77-79.9% = C+

73-76.9% = C

70-72.9% = C-

67-69.9% = D+

60-66.9% = D

59.9% or less = F

There are two important things you have to do to pass:

1. Achieve a 60% overall in the class

2. Do and meet standard on all Unit Assessments

Other Important Points to Consider:

· In order to pass the class, you must DO and meet standard on all Unit Assessments.

· Unit Assessments will count for BOTH English and History courses.

· For the Unit Assessments, you must turn in the assignment on time in order to receive full credit.

· A reasonable effort is expected to be put forth the first time.

· The FINAL Unit Assessment for each semester cannot be turned in late, since it acts as the final for that semester.

· Plagiarism is forbidden and has consequences.
